The Himalayan mountains are the result of the Indian tectonic plate pressing hard (among the fastest-moving plates in the world) northward into the Eurasian plate. The Himalayan mountains are folded mountains, as opposed to volcanoes; they are the result of the land being lifted up by the pressure between two plates.
